Copy Colour Attribute

Another example of the boundless imagination of a child.

"Amma, tell me the colours I need to mix to get white colour".

"You cannot get white by mixing colours. You just have to use the white crayon."

"Oh"

"Acutally,  white light has all the colours mixed together in it.  When white light is split you can see all the 7 colours."

" Oh i know ,  that's how the rainbow is formed"

"Yes!"

"Oh Amma, now i get it.  Now i know why the clouds are white.  The rainbow colours are all mixing and giving the colour to the clouds!!"

Clouded Dream

Cartoons! Don't we associate it with humour, creativity and imagination? Well what beats our imagination is how our little ones are associating, interpreting and understanding this stream. My four year old, who loves cartoons (who doesnt?) was screaming 'Run, run' aloud in his sleep. When he woke up, i asked him about his dream and he said, ' There was a volcano, and i was running away,

did you see?'

I said ' It was your dream, how could i have seen it?'

He waved his hands over this head and asked ' Didn't you see it over my head?'

Puzzled and unsettled i said ' the dream happens in your mind, others cannot see it'

'Yes, you can' he replied.

Bewildered by his conviction i questioned ' What makes you think so?'

Came his reply, ' Dont you remember we saw it on tv? When tom has a dream, a

cloud appears over his head and we can see tom chasing Jerry inside the cloud!!?? .........'
